I'm debating on either going Ice Dragon or Tyrant for my character.

what is tyrant Dragon referenced too? and I thought I knew about all Dragonformers.

will either be available after the reset?

I like the shape of Ice Dragon (Cryotek?), however, I don't like the Ice-Dragon Classification,

the character is Emperor Megatron, and I wanted a TM2 Megs, which can breath fire as well as ice, now, a Fire-Dragon could fix that since he was predominantly fire,

on the other hand, the name "Tyrant Dragon" cool, but a silhouette want give me a good picture on his form, especially when the head isn't visible.

Tyrant Dragon is from Yu-gi-oh.

it's one of Windy's alts so it's quite possibly one of her dragon designs, not all alts are based on actual TFs quite a few a just cool looking vehicles, real and fictional

we have an alt rotator, it rotates every 2 weeks(or so i'm told) so alts become available for limited time, the tyrant dragon is a rare alt, so is unlikely to available that much, whereas the Ice dragon is a common alt so will be available more often

well change it's colour to red and pretend it's a fire dragon, the alt desc is not the important bit, it's just desribes the origin of the alt, it has little if any affect on your character, the question is do you want an air animal(tyrant) or a land animal(ice) class decepticon? air has avoid and strafe, and land has avoid and ram.

Tam, correct me if I'm wrong, but last I heard, w/ the 2 week rotation, the rare alts would come up once every 6-7 months. So, keep that in mind Draco.

At lower levels, I'd recommend the Land Animal over the Air Animal.

approximately you right, however our RNG is a fickle bitch, and so I'm not going to give timme frames, just qualitive terms. we cons have 40 odd rare alts, and get 5 at a time so on average it should take about 4 months to cycle throughall of them. if it cycles, if it shuffles them it could take even longer, much more so.

if it is cycling then commons will cylce in a little over 3 months

I'm 80% sure that OS says it cycles instead of shuffles.

Which makes me think that it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and have "date of next availability" labeled on that active-alt screen. It would be a fast answer to a lot of questions the newbies will be asking.

Yup it cycles. As for the date of next availability, that might happen

It is every 2 weeks. Haven't had time to add the availability functionality. Might not happen until I am done with the new game engine.

Nah, it ain't one of my original TF designs. Phasewing had it right, it's the Tyrant Dragon from YGO:

It was hard to get the head on its own due to the wings being in the way, but I think the lack of detail kinda leaves stuff up to imagination. If that makes sense...

well that's boring and predictable. the RNG is gonna be pissed.

Oooh, now i know that some of the "Alt Mode" actually not based on actual Transformers.
